boehner. dan lothian is at the white house. dan, what do you know? >> reporter: well, this is the second phone conversation now that the president has had with speaker boehner with regards to the fiscal cliff. this call, according to a source familiar with it, told me it lasted for 28 minutes. this official saying it was hardly short or curt, as had been reported by some news outlets. and my colleague, jessica yellen, heard from another source that said that the president told speaker boehner that he felt that rates had to go up on wealthy americans and that there would be no deal without that. so clearly, there is still some distance between the two sides here. the president believing that wealthy americans need to pay more. those bush era tax cuts should not extend for them. republicans believing that all americans should benefit from those tax cuts, and that now you should put en titlements on the table. of as we see, the officials from the white house going up to capitol hill today, treasu

john boehner has not fought on any issue. look over his two term as speaker. show me one issue where he has fought on anything other than consolidating his power. he didn't fight on the debt ceiling or the budget last year. he has fought on nothing. the first year of his speakership spending went up 3% over what it did in the last year nancy pelosi's speakership. we put them into cuts spending and he did get the message and i still don't think he gets the message. dave: time for new speaker. good to see you again. thank you very much. back to the markets. robert gray. what are they doing? robert: we are seeing gains across the board. widespread gains with lots of green on the screen, three major stock averages and if you look within that, the dow, 29 of 30 dow members moving higher, alcoa was unchanged so pre much a wash. looking within that, we are seeing the tech stocks with in the dow leading the way. you have hewlett-packard bouncing back from the autonomy if you want to call it a scandal, the big write-down they took from buying autonomy without doing wha

>> it has given john boehner some cover. you now have a conservativconse albeit establishment member of the house republican party who is essentially going to the left of john boehner. of course, john boehner has basically said, look, i disagree with tom cole. what has happened, we have actually seen other republicans embrace what tom cole said. mary bono mack said she'd support something tom cole is calling for, extension of the bush tax cuts for the middle class, not for the wealthiest. by having this cover john boehner could actually have the flexibility to negotiate with the white house maybe something that doesn't go as far as the white house and tom cole want, but some other kind of middle ground. something we didn't see in the 2011 negotiations over the debt ceiling. >> meanwhile john boehner is being pretty elusive about what the specifics, the details are. i want to play a little bit of what he said today at his weekly briefing. >> revenue is on the table. but revenue was only on the table if there were serious spen
